Sensoneo sensors are installed in approximately ten cities and towns in the Czech Republic. Sensoneo has monitored glass, plastic and paper waste in underground bins in Prague II for over a year. As part of a twelve month pilot project, 420 sensors will be installed into waste containers (e.g. glass, plastics and other types of recyclable waste). The real technology benefits will be subsequently evaluated and a decision will be made on whether to expand or modify the project.

The Project will provide a new, multi-utility measuring system for selected buildings owned by the Capital of Prague. The system will provide complete and continuous measurements of the used energies, thus creating conditions for a flawless consumption monitoring of all energies in the given building. The customers will thus be able to always monitor their respective consumption on the web portal of PREměření.
